The official poster for the 2013 edition of the Cannes Film Festival has been unveiled.

The image features actor Paul Newman and his wife Joan Woodward on a polaroid shot during the filming of 'Samantha', directed by Melville Shavelson in 1963.

For the occasion, the Festival remembers its first time with Newman and his wife back in 1958, year in which 'The Long, Hot Summer' directed by Martin Ritt was on competition for the Palm d'Or. Excellent opportunity to pay tribute to the memory of the American actor deceased in 2008.

'Equilibrium, dynamism and depth' were the main qualities to show in the image, which intends to reflect the particular vision of the couple that invites to live cinema with a never ending desire.

The Cannes Film Festival celebrates its 66th edition and it will be held from May 15 to 26, 2013.
